I\'m using the OZ software but installing on Sharp ROM. Managed to get it to save images, but not video. Still shakey though.

The standard software works fine (see downloads section)

You don't want to take indoors pictures with this camera. They realy suck. Outdoors pictures' quality is somewhat of those built into cellphones...

Guess it depends on what cellphone you have

They are in a different league to the one I get on my T610.

Got my camera yesterday, very neat little device.  The pictures are low quality, but it is more of a fun toy to play with.  On a clear day, it takes very nice shots outside, while inside or low light are grainy, but not totally useless.

What makes it cool is you take a picture,save it to RAM or SD (I recommend FAT32 as mine was giving errors when  tried saving in ext2, but that may have been a coincidence), then you just unplug the camera and plug in the wifi and you have a picture small enough to mail without requiring going through paint programs.

Kind of like cell phone camera idea.  

Personally, I would love to get my hands on the source for the camera software if it is out there, but I believe it is not in the public domain.  Reason being that it could be used as a video link with only minor changes since the screen is a viewfinder already.

Anyway, I think the camera is pretty cool, even with the high shipping....it is just one more reason to own and use the Z....I would not pass it up for this price, but I would not expect a digicam quaility device either.

Not sure if anyone else has had problems, so just a quick warning.  I ordered the z camera from comp-u-plus, got the box last week.  I went to open it and the camera was missing!  Had the instruction booklet, and the box (which was pretty beat up), but the camera itself was gone.  I've been trying unsuccessfully for 2 days now to contact their customer support (busy signal on the phone line, no response from their e-mail).  Hopefully it's just a simple mistake on their part and this will get resolved.  I'll let you all know what happens..   .

The price has just gone up to $29.99.  Interesting.

For the 5500 and 5600 (and I think) the Cx00 series, there was an IPK on the cdrom for use with the camera....so you could check your CD rom for the 6000L and see if there is a camera program (IPK) ...if so, I would then that is a good indicator.

Hey All,

This thread's been dead for quite a while, but has anyone seen these cards anywhere selling for under $100?  I bought three last fall and gave one to a friend, one to my daughter and kept one for myself (the cost me $30 apiece).  Recently my daughter managed to lose hers and I'd like to buy her a replacement.  I've found plenty of vendors selling them but they all want $130 bucks or more- and for that amount I could buy her a decent 1-2megapixel camera and a CF-->5-in-1 media reader.

Anyway, it'd be really great if anyone trips over one in your surfing- If you do PLEASE send me a PM/Email and post here about it!

It'd help me a bunch, and make a young budding photography/technogeek daughter of mine really happy. =)

Thanks!,

Just give to your daughter your card, I don't think you use it as much as your daughters does or would

You're right- and I've already thought of that.  If I cannot find one by Christmas I'm giving her mine. Not too happy about that though, I actually use mine rather frequently...I'm the one she caught the shutter-bug from.   I'm actually amazed at how fond we've become of the little contraptions- because the quality reaaaaaally sux.  But we've found that while we don't always carry our cameras with us, we ALWAYS have our Z's.  Also the resolution/size is almost perfect right outa-da-can for posting pics really quickly to the net for family and friends. But being that I'm definitely wrapped around her little finger- It'll be hers on December 25th!

How's [a href=\"http://www.cmishop.com/store/ShowDetails.asp?txtProductName=CEAG06-BX&txtMfgPartNo=CEAG06&nCategorySubID=125&txtSiteTrack=FG]$64.71[/url] ?

Froogle is your friend...

I'm not sure they actually have it in stock though; you might want to check on that before ordering, especially seeing as they only have a 2/5 customer rating.
